Heaven is one star brighter now with the acceptance of Barbara. She was quite the lady, always witty, willing to give all she had, smart, loving & caring about everyone and putting herself last. She was the Best SVDP president this organization has had in quite a very long time and she will dearly be missed!!! She made everyone feel like they were special and always welcome. We are truly and deeply going to miss her, allthough we know she is watching and guiding us from above, with our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. Condolences to all the family as you have truly lost a wonderful mother and matriarch of your family. May God's peace and her love comfort you at this time of your loss.

Mrs. Johnson was my supervisor during my employment with the State of Delaware. Such a nice person and a great supervisor. Always encouraging and willing to help in any way she could. We kept in touch even after she retired and I moved away. I will truly miss our talks. She never missed a Christmas without sending a card. Blessings and Love. You will be missed.

Barbara is truly a star in the heavens! Her light will continue to shine in the lives of those she touched. I will always be grateful for having known her and worked with her as a Vincentian and Knights of St. Peter Claver's Ladies Auxiliary. May the Lord's perpetual light shine upon her +
